I was going to get the MIRO 166 wheels in 19" staggered until I saw the 935 style wheel...I think the 935 friggin rocks but I haven't seen many pics of those on E60s. Does anyone have pics of the 19" 935's? I would also like opinions from those who have actually seen the 935's on an E60....thanks!

Also, would I need suspension upgrades in order to run 20" 935's on a 545i with sport package? Would the ride quality be much different?

with a sport package i dont think you need to lower it. others will say drop it even more. i think it looks fine with just a sport package suspension.

20's with non run flat tires will ride pretty good. i didnt mind the ride on my 20's. It will be different but if your still on factory run flats the 20s wont feel that much different imo.

Actually, I don't have the car yet....I'm picking it up Thursday. The car has 48K miles on it and has 50%+ tread on the tires so I'm assuming they aren't the original tires but if 20's feel about the same as the stock run flats with 18's I'd definitely be happy. God I love those wheels! My 545 is going to be the darker gray with tinted windows...Should look cocked!

addicted to modding and you dont even have the car yet...LOL

Once you put those wheels on your going to want to buy a kit next, then exhaust, and much more. For smaller, cheaper mods i would suggest talking to Brabusw209amg for all your lighting needs. His name is John. He has angle eye upgrades, turn signal upgrades, HID fog upgrades, led license plate upgrades, interior led upgrades, etc. Hes a good guy, sells quality stuff, and has amazing customer service.

Just put mine on, silver faced finish and it looks clean. Fits perfect with the sports suspension. I'll send you pics once I get the car detailed. Got them from B2 Auto Designs, look them up on the vendor classifieds.

The Miro 166's have a lip around the circumference, which causes brake dust build up and is a pain to get rid of. It's also not flush and doesn't look as good. Looks like a cheap mold was used. It's not as concave as the real 166's and the color is different. Personally, I hate the real 166's, so either way, I'm not a fan. Go with the 935's. Next! Who's next?!?!?!
